a roundabout tortilla… not just for kids !
Finely dice enough potatoes and onions
To fill an ovenproof frying pan.
Onions are optional, so choose as many as you like.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 350ºF.
Begin by heating a drop of hot grape seed oil.
Melt the butter in the oil until it foams.
Toss in the onions and potatoes, and
Cook over low heat, covered,
For at least thirty minutes.
Salt.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
Once the vegetables are soft and tender,
Add them to the same bowl as the eggs, and mash them coarsely.
Sprinkle lightly with freshly grated nutmeg.
Pour the mixture into the still-warm pan.
When the edges of the tortilla start to cook,
Place the pan into the hot oven.
The tortilla will cook within fifteen minutes or so.
The tortilla will look just like a cake, so
Turn it out like one!
Serve with a hearty salad and several slices of Jabugo ham.
- There must always be more potato than egg in a tortilla
(6 eggs for 8 people, on average.)
- Be sure to use an ovenproof pan.
- Whenever cooking with onions,
Always remember to remove the sprout, as it is hard to digest.

One evening,
when I was preparing a “quick” meal for the children,
An idea came to me in a flash—
Why work at flipping the tortilla,
when all I needed to do was to bake it in the oven like a cake?!
